Songwriter specializing in modern rock, country, easy listening and pop music.
I'm a songwriter with a wide variety of influences. I am currently seeking a publisher for one or more of my songs. Though I focus on commercially viable Country/Rock and Adult Contemporary, my wide range of infuences ensures that on any given CD of my work, there's something for all tastes in music.

Lyrics
“Aftermath (Everline)” Capers Simmons VERSE I One million hands Reach to the sky. These palms demand for biscuits and rice. Hands fill with rain, Eyes fill with tears, Planes fill with grain and, on the way, they disappear. CHORUS I Grief comes in waves; God comes in late. Are we just slaves in chains of fate That bind the hands of time In one unending ever-line? Run from the coast; fall on the path. Take a thousand souls and then subtract. The arithmetic of ghosts is Aftermath. VERSE II One million sands Heave and roll. One million plans die with ten thousand souls. Hearts fill with pain, Bellies with air. God, dam the rain, because the rain doesn’t care. ~ CHORUS I ~ The bitter taste of holy water Leaves you thirsting more. The bitter taste of each tomorrow Bleeds you worse each dawn. But life goes on. Life goes on. CHORUS II Death comes in tides. Black waters rise. Who will decide who lives and dies? We’ll watch the skies and wait For eyes to gaze with sympathy. Does anyone care for the burden we bear And the unanswered prayers of a world we must share? Fill an ocean of tears – does anyone hear? ~ CHORUS I ~
